That was fun to play! The quota mechanic is nice and it had me stressed running around looking for more stuff, which git the whole setting really well :)
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed!
I loved the world in this game. Super eerie, especially when I found the tall spire thing next to the campsite. I was really interested in finding hidden things like that around the world, it was really rewarding and creepy. The atmosphere was great. The warden was also hilarious, I like the framing of the creepy world being so funny. I would also love to see more of this game post-jam!
Thank you so much! We spent most of the time working on the atmosphere and overworld layout, so I'm really glad it shows! We have a lot more in the works for this game post-jam, I hope you check it out! :)
Really interesting adventure here. I love being imprisoned for homebrewing! I hope you all had as much fun making this game as I did playing it, and I'd LOVE to see this be further explored post jam <3
This is the future when Microsoft buys the US government! I'm glad you enjoyed, we had a damn BLAST making this game. There are already a couple things updated and ready to release after the jam, so stay tuned! :3
Oh trust me I will ;)
Such a unique idea this entry! The scope and the polish are well done.
I liked the atmosphere, which you explare super fast the most! Very fun. :)
Congrats on the game! <3
Thanks for playing! More to come in the future!
Cool idea and unique artwork! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D
We certainly have plans to continue the project post jam! Thanks for playing!!
This game has a really unique style that kept me curious from beginning to end. The atmosphere is quirky and memorable, and it never takes itself too seriously. The gameplay is easy to pick up but stays entertaining throughout. A short, creative experience that I genuinely enjoyed!!
Thank you for the kind words! We tried to pack a lot into the world. Glad you enjoyed!
The idea of a fast exploration game is very cool! The atmosphere reminded me of the Fallout games. The game was a bit too hard for me and the fact that there was no pausing the was a bit annoying. It was a nice game in the end. Good job!
Thank you for playing and the feedback! Who knows what crazy pause features the future may hold!
this game was wild lol. Good job!
Thanks so much for playing! More to come!
WHY IS HE GREEN?!?!?!
He sure is green! Thanks for checking out the game!

A very impressive and solid work! Cannot believe you guys did all this in just 4 days... The game feels very immersive, nice game feel to it. Nice!!
Thank you! We dedicated and divided a lot over the course of the 4 days. Labor of love. Thanks for playing!
The game is cool, even though I got lost so many times, haha!
Glad you like it! We had a ton of fun making it!
The game definitely managed to evoke strange emotions: I couldn't decide whether it was creepy or more funny. The game's formula is quite simple, great!
We were definitely leaning for a combination of creepy and funny, glad to hear we hit that mark! :)
I really liked your game overall, really gives a certain vibe that I can't explain. You really did a great job on the theme! Like others have already said a minimap would be really nice! I think this was caused by my pc but the game sometimes really didn't like where I was looking, I don't know what was in that direction but it was really laggy. Beside these it was really fun to play well done!
Thank you for the feedback and glad you enjoyed!
Wow, big world! Exploring was fun. I did get lost pretty much immediately, maybe a mini map would be nice? Or maybe that's the point. Either way nice job.
Thank you! To some degree its the point, replaying and memorizing the area to survive.
However maybe we will experiment w/ a map of some kind in the future...
Very unique art direction! I enjoy the quota-like games.
Thank you! We do too! We hope that s3rum adds something to the formula.
really loved the visual style of this! after a bit of lagging at the start, the game ran smoothly for the rest of the experience :D
Thank you for the feedback! Hope you enjoyed your time in the wasteland! Once we can get to it that lag spike will be fixed!
I think the art looks really good, really works well to paint a cool atmosphere. I got the same as the other guy, first loading into a level it will jitter for a bit before continuing just fine. Moving around feels nice.
Thank you for the feedback! Good to know that the lag spike when starting a level isn't crashing anyone. We are dedicated to getting this better optimized in the future!
The green guy is really creepy. you really nailed the atmosphere though.
Thank you! We worked hard to make it all original!
This one was good! And the warden design was very unsettling, welldone!
Thank you! The Warden sends his regards!
I love the art style for the game. It really stands out in this jam. Other than that, I thought the game was really fun!!!
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
